Entree

Tonight was like many of my nights — I came home tired and starving for something good (oh, and good for me is usually a goal, too). Rather than opt for a frozen dinner, I decided to toss together a salad with some of easy ingredients in my fridge.

And herein lies the lesson –

Pre-prepared veggies are entirely worth the extra money. Spring mix is just too easy to toss into a bowl with no washing, salad spinner, or cutting. Cherry tomatoes require no slicing or messy hands. Olives — well they are just delicious and there’s always a can in my cupboard. Oh, and forget grating. Crumble in feta and it’s extra delicious in 5 seconds. The only things I cut were some onion slivers for flavor and some avocado (because yum), but you could even leave those out if you’re feeling super lazy. All in all, dinner was done in under two minutes — about the same time as that not-so-healthy Hot Pocket. Your hips thank you in advance.
